OGDCL discovers gas, condensate reserves in Sindh's Khairpur district

OGDCL has reported a new gas and condensate find at Bitrisim Northwest-1, an exploratory well in Sindh’s Khairpur district. Testing recorded daily flows of 12.8 million standard cubic feet of gas and 175 barrels of condensate, the company said in a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange on Wednesday.

The well lies in the Bitrisim Exploration Licence, where OGDCL holds a 95% working stake and Government Holdings (Private) Limited owns 5%. The discovery was confirmed in the Basal Sands of the Lower Goru Formation after drilling started on August 21, 2026, and reached 3,732 metres. OGDCL said it is speeding up plans to connect the well with the national gas gathering system for early commercial production, adding that the find could expand its reserves and contribute to local energy supply.
